I don't think there's a spot for him. We are going to be overflowing with young guys. There wouldn't be any minutes for Bol.
This real? I know we're overflowing but I'd take a flyer on him. He's been getting kicked off how many teams in his young career now? Magic fans have been excited to have him.
We need to get on that right now. I think he's someone who can give you minutes at either front court position and someone whose skill set opposing teams have to adjust to when he comes off of the bench. I love the idea that anyone is so sure of how this trade is going to pan out that they're not willing to think about this because we're sure to be overflowing with guys that would be more deserving of a roster spot. For all we know we'll send out Dame and Nurk and get Jovic, one of the Nets rookies, Simmons, McDermott and the rest of the compensation comes in picks. I don't think that sort of package would leave our roster "overflowing" to the point where picking up Bol doesn't make sense.
That's fine. I fully expect that we're going to be brining in 4-5 young dudes. I really don't see how we would have time for a guy like Bol. I also think that's why we cut Trendon. If we DO go through with the Heat trade, I fully expect we will see at minimum 2-3 guys, plus maybe 1-2 guys from a third team like Brooklyn. So that means we need to distribute minutes between: Keon Jabari Murray Rupert Badji Nas That's assuming we have Scoot/Shae/Simons/Grant/Thybulle. So if we bring in Jovic/Jaquez/Martin (maybe?) and then maybe a couple dudes from Brooklyn. There's going to be a lot of young dudes to try out.
Low-risk move to get him. I think Scoot would get the best out of him. It's worth a shot but we're likely to do nothing until the Dame stuff gets settled.
I take it back. If we get Caleb Martin, and I'm assuming we do, then we don't need Matisse. If we don't get a vet SF brought back in a trade, then sure bring him back. We need to have room to develop our SF prospects.
I laugh when people be like “no thanks” about a player that wouldn’t cost us a damn thing and they’re better than others already on our roster. The point is to improve ya roster, even at the back end.
